Clark's title defense, Korda's win streak and more from pro golf

The PGA Tour is making a final stop before the PGA Championship, the second major of the season, which will tee off next week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

But the biggest story in professional golf this week will take place at the Cognizant Founders Cup at Upper Montclair Country Club in Clifton, New Jersey, where LPGA Tour star Nelly Korda will attempt to win in her sixth consecutive start.

With another victory, Korda would break an LPGA Tour record she shares with Annika Sorenstam (2004-05) and Nancy Lopez (1978).

Most of the PGA Tour's top golfers, including Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and others, are competing at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a $20 million purse is on the line.
